ITALIANS CHAFE
AT CONCILIATION
Don't Like British Attitude, Fear France Is Falling in Line.
Copyright, 1935, by Associated Press.
ROME, April 6.—High Italian quar-
ters tonight expressed irritation with
England and doubt of France in con-
nection with the tri-power conference
at Stresa, which opens Thursday.
Italy's attitude can be summed up
thus:
1. Annoyance because England ap-
parently believes in a conciliatory attitude toward Germany, wants a gen-
eral European accord and does not want an alliance.
3. Doubt of France because France,
believed here to be under England's
influence, is seemingly moving toward
the idea of a general accord.
3. Belief that some definite stand,
such as an alliance, must be taken by
the three western powers without regard to any general pact.
Britain Up in Air.
LONDON, April 6. (AP) — Great
Britain's attitude toward the revision
of the peace treaties restricting Austrian, Hungarian and Bulgarian
armies will be one of the knotty problems confronting Monday's cabinet session.
Upon the final report presented by
Captain Anthony Eden after visiting
Berlin, Moscow, Warsaw and Praha,
the British program for Thursday's
conference at Stresa with France
and Italy will be based.
Possible changes in treaty provision
governing the armaments of Germany's World war allies have be
uppermost in the minds of state;
since Germany took her public step
toward rearmament. The cabinet we
described tonight as having yet
make up its mind on the issue.
Another problem confronts the
cabinet in reports from Paris that
France will seek Italy's and England's
support in formally condemning German rearmament.
Such an effort would increase the
tension Simon and Eden have sought
to relieve. It is understood the British delegation will seek to tone down
the French resolution, if it is presented, before the extraordinary meeting
of the league of nations council
April 15.
